The maid had alerted me that Antonio was out of the house, I wondered why she dropped that information but I ignored it and ate my meal in bed after which I rushed to shower so I could nap before he returned.

I had just stepped out of the bathroom, my skin still damp, and my towel clinging tightly around me when the door swung open with an abruptness that made my heart leap into my throat at the thought that he could have returned.

I shuddered with fear till I took in who it was from the corner of my eyes.

“What the hell!” I snapped, still facing the window with my back turned. My hair dripped down my neck in slow, ticklish rivulets, but the sudden jolt had frozen me in place.

“Luca?” I bit out, fisting the edge of my towel. “Are you crazy? Don’t you know how to knock?”

“I didn’t know you’d just come out of the shower,” he said from behind me, his voice low and breathless, like he was the one caught off guard. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking.”

“You should’ve knocked regardless,” I hiss

    “Didn’t think it was yours,” he said, his voice oily. “You don’t exactly look like a Range Rover kinda guy.”Rob wiped his face slowly, glaring at him. “You got three seconds to back off.”I was already halfway to him before Rob could say anything else. The guy tilted his head and looked me over like he didn’t recognize me, which I was sure was a lie. His eyes darted nervously once he caught my stare.“I asked you something,” I said, stepping up close. “Why are you here?”“Relax, man. Just waiting for someone.”“Yeah?” I said. “And who exactly would that be?”He smiled, and it wasn’t friendly. “None of your business, Conte.”Hearing my last name from his mouth had my fists itching. Rob put a hand on my arm before I could lunge at him.“Let’s go,” he said. “He’s not worth it.”I couldn’t stand it neither could I walk away from it as Rob wanted me to. The sight of injustice always struck something raw in me. “I don’t care if you’ve got tattoos covering every inch of your body or pierc

    Roberto took the wheel like he always did when he wanted to run his mouth without interruption, and I didn’t mind. I had too much swirling in my head to argue about who got to drive. The Range Rover purred along the slick roads of the city, weaving through the traffic like it had a mind of its own. The soft breeze wheezed past our faces as the ornament trees that lined the road danced gleefully as we moved.He drove us into an upscale spot on the Upper West Side, a terrace-styled eatery with a rooftop view that overlooked other fancy places lined up like polished teeth and a busy view of corporate buildings. The moment he parked and killed the engine, Roberto turned to me.“So, about Carol and your old man,” he started.I unclipped my seatbelt and got out of the car without even glancing at him. “Knock it off, Rob,” I dismissed him before he got the chance to continue.He grumbled something under his breath and followed me. Rob was always a front seater, I don’t know if the seats at

    The air around the Gianneti estate reeked of power and danger, two things Giovanni wore like an invisible cloak. In the farthest end of the compound, behind iron gates and guarded by men with eyes sharper than eagles’, a black truck screeched to a halt, its tires stirring clouds of dust into the golden afternoon.Two men in black suits jumped down from the vehicle and approached the main house. One of them, a tall man with an unshaven jaw and a tattoo peeking from under his collar, bowed slightly before speaking.“It’s here, boss,” he said, his voice gravelly from years of smoke and grit. “The largest order yet. We just crossed the border and there were no interruptions.”Giovanni didn’t say a word at first. He simply rose from his leather chair like a panther waking from a nap. His steps were slow, calculated and dangerous.“How many kilos?” he asked.“Two-fifty. Pure coke,” The tattooed man muttered.He narrowed his eyes slightly, then with a wave of his hand, signaled for them to

    Stepping in and standing behind the door again was the company’s accountant with another file in hand. Our faces were too shocked to speak or even utter a word. I quickly narrowed my eyes back to my laptop as I leaned back in my chair, massaging the pain building at the back of my neck. Hours had passed since I started the simulation, and my head felt like a compact server tower about to overheat. The code lines on my screen were beginning to blur into each other. She knocked on the door audaciously to get back my attention. It was a soft knock on the glass door but I saw no need for it since she was already in. Her stilettos that made Roberto glance up like a hungry hawk. She strutted in, carrying a manila folder, hips swinging to the right and left like those of my personal assistant a few minutes ago. Her blouse had a dangerous V-shape that she never bothered to use a camisole and her breasts, God help me, looked like they were about to dive out of her blouse and introduce the

    “Vrooom!”A breeze blew past my ears and I noticed the phone wasn’t in my hand anymore. Clara had yanked it off immediately she noticed that I was beginning to lament about my ordeals in the house to Elena. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I wasn’t expecting Clara of all people to exhibit such demonized behaviour. I stared at her in shock after she snatched the phone from my hand like I was some teenager sneaking calls past curfew time. Her nerves irked me sore.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I yelled in frustration, my cheeks reddening and my eyes growing a bit moist. She flinched but said nothing, her eyes darting toward the hallway.“You stood right in my room two days ago, acting like my pain hurt you. Like you actually gave a damn about how I felt!” I shook my head, scoffing bitterly. “All that motherly care, all that whispering ‘you’ll be fine’, was that just part of the act to get me to remain a prisoner?”“Carol…please…”“No,” I cut in, stepping back from her. “I should’ve k

    The walls of my room were closing in on me. To me they weren’t just walls anymore, they were now bars, thick and invisible ones at that. The type that kept your body still but let your mind run wild with thoughts you had no business entertaining. I paced slowly from one end of the room to the other, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. It had been days or maybe more, I’d lost count, that I hadn’t heard from my close friend at the stripping club.Every creak of the house made my heart jump, but it was the silence that scared me more. I needed someone to talk to. I didn’t just need anyone, I needed her comfort and the laughter she always whipped out of me every time we were in the same space.She was the only person in the whole wide earth who ever looked at me and saw something worth saving. She never took my feelings for granted and would go to any length to ensure I wasn’t embarrassed by the perverts that paraded the length and breadth of the strip club every night. Whenever she
